I'd cut the cord and subscribe to their channel in a heartbeat if they'd make my games available. I'm very close to simply saying 'screw it' as far as the television coverage goes. I hate to do that but I think I could learn to live with that decision. My Dish Network commitment is done on February 19th. I'm going to be making some sort of move after that.
I have been wearing a sore spot scratching my head as to why these regional sports networks won't stream for a price. There are customers out there for that service.
My guess is whomever bought the broadcast rights...uh...owns the broadcast rights?
I don't have local NBC RSNs but I think you can stream those through NBC Sports Live Extra. I can stream both FOX Sports Florida and Sun through FSGo.
My regional sports network is AT&T SportsNet. No streaming offered by them.
Lame, I don't know how a provider could neglect that service in this day and age.
Me and you both.
Dont you still have to have internet, which means depending on cable? With u verse or sonny do you get live TV?
Thanks for the MINIX info. I’m going to continue to do my research.
Don’t take the term cable cutters to literally. I’m talking about dropping Dish Network. I’m not familiar with u verse or Sony as a streaming provider or is that some form of cable?
It’s $39/month vs. over $150/month. That alone makes it worth it. Vue is the only streaming service I’ve found that streams my local ABC, CBS, FOX & NBC affiliates. Vue’s least expensive package has those networks as well as all the others we watch. That, and there’s no commitment. Bottom line..... worth the switch IMO.
I assume you have to have internet for it.
If he has TV through dish, then DP likely has internet through another provider, DSL/copper connection.
I'm currently paying for over 120 channels and only watch a handful. The package that I'd like to get from Vue is their least expensive @ $39/month. It includes all of the channels that I currently watch and once again, a bunch I don't The biggest thing for me with whatever streaming package I decide to purchase is that I get all of the locals broadcast live. So far, Vue is the only service that I found where that's possible in the Pittsburgh, PA market. If you or anyone knows of another option, please let me know. I'd like to explore everything that I can.
Yes, I do have a cable connection for my internet service. Lightning fast. It's a decent price for me but I don't want to add cable television. I'd be right back in the same price range as I am currently with Dish Network. You don't need to look any further for a reason that I'd like to move to streaming than the bill that I'm posting below. $155.84/month vs. $39.99/month. What would you do?
moving to The CW, I can actually watch on demand if I miss an episode. If it wasn't for the Jags games, I wouldn't know CBS still existed.
Just curious, what don't you like about Sling? Even if it didnt have the NHL Network, it would likely still be my go-to, though that could be a different story if I didnt live in a big city due to their lack of local channels and the fact that they limit what you can watch when signing into apps such as NBC Sports.
I'm assuming
but if not I have a friend that went through the process and learned a lot about it. It basically allows you to open it up into the development mode. At that point a web browser can be downloaded. The Fire Stick runs the Android operating system. Once the browser is downloaded, KODI can be installed. KODI opens up internet streaming on steroids. Interesting product.
My regional sports network is not a FOX affiliate.
While it looks inviting, especially another $5 off per month over Vue, it doesn't offer two of the channels that we watch. My wife's HGTV and TBS. I did see that they have all of my locals live, which is important for watching the NFL games. They offer a ton of regional sports networks. Not mine, but they sure seem to cover a great portion of the country. Were it not for my wife's affinity for coming up with new home projects and the occasional viewing of BBT reruns, I'd be all over that package.
I can't touch that price with our local cable/internet provider. I'd pull the trigger on that deal, especially if it's a fast reliable connection.
